The final challenge for #tcwitchyoctober22 was to talk about witch trials. "The first written mention of witches in Zagreb goes back to the 14th century, to be precise in 1360, when a document tells about the trial of Alice and Margareta, who must not repeat their witch crimes or they will be punished without trial and defense. They, just like the witch Dragica two years later, could be acquitted by jurors standing up for them and swearing on their honesty. In our country, this old Slavic custom of defense was replaced by an investigation under torture at the beginning of the 17th century. However, the burnings started happening in Croatia not long after the publication of the book Malleus Maleficarum - this time, Croatia did not wait long for the movements in Europe. Thus, history testifies to the burning of Ursula, daughter of shoemaker Luka, who was sued for destroying her brother's marital happiness with magic. both were burned on September 6, 1496." #witchtrials #alessoninvengeance #victorialee #darkacademia #halloweenreads #bookworm #bookstagram #witchtrialsincroatia #malleusmaleficarum #instabook #currentlyreading #halloween #halloweendecor #🎃 (at Rukavac, Primorsko-Goranska, Croatia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYlbyyI56H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dark academia, but make it sapphic 🕯🍂 Mysterious boarding schools, with a dark past with ghosts and gay witches. Do you need more? No, no you don’t. The aesthetic and atmosphere in this book is *chef’s kiss* Already planning on rereading this during autumn 🍂🍁

✨ g i v e a w a y ✨ 💬 Give me all your dark academia recs! Is this a genre you enjoy? Any that are sitting pretty on your TBR? I certainly have a dark academia rec for you! I’ve only read the first chapter so far, but I just know I’m going to love this book. A dark, twisty thriller about a centuries-old, ivy-covered boarding school haunted by its history of witchcraft and two girls dangerously close to digging up the past. The dangerous romance and atmospheric setting makes it a perfect read for fans of dark academia. The history of Dalloway School lives in the bones it was built on. Five violent deaths in the first ten years of its existence. Sometimes you can still smell the blood on the air.

🍂 Do you ever read classics? If so, what are some of your favorites?? Or, what’s one you’ve read recently, or want to read? Happy Thursday, Bookworms … Do you ever read classics? I mostly only read Jane Austen books, but I have read a few others that I have enjoyed as well. I have a few on my TBR for this fall, and I’m very excited to get to them, one being *Wuthering Heights*! I’ve wanted to read it for the longest, and I’m excited to finally get to it. I’m also hoping to read *Dracula*, *Frankenstein*, and re-read *Northanger Abbey* as well. 🥰 And yes, I’m totally featuring *A Lesson in Vengeance* AGAIN this month, but I’m *FINALLY* starting it today, and I’m so excited! 🥰 🍂 . 🍁 . 🍂 . 🍁 . 🍂 📖 Gothic Reads. #AlltheBooksOct21 🍁 New to Me Author. #CourtofReadingOct21 📖 Gothic. #MyFictionalMusings 🍁 . 🍂 . 🍁 . 🍂 . 🍁 #victorialee #alessoninvengeance #yabooks #reading #bookstack #bookstagram #yalit #books #booknerd #fantasybooks #yafantasy #booksofinstagram #bookobsessed #ilovebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CVScpRfLdzi/?utm_medium=tumblr
